Inspired by the cheesy corn at Jack Stack BBQ in Kansas City, with cheesy corn bake is loaded with a creamy melted cheese sauce and chunks of smoked ham. It is the perfect side for smoked meats.
Over medium heat, warm a medium sized pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and, when melted, stir in the frozen sweetcorn, milk, and the cream cheese.
Once the cream cheese is melted add in the cheese sauce and seasonings.
Stir to combine then stir in the diced smoked ham. Cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
Place the corn mixture into a 8X10 casserole dish and then top with the shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake the cheesy corn and ham bake at 300 degrees about 45 minutes, or until the cheddar cheese is lightly browned. This recipe can be made in an oven, or on a smoker or BBQ grill over indirect heat.
